Can we use electronic plagiarism detection methods without restriction (like giving students the opt-out option or using it for draft summative assessments only)?
• The University policy neither condemns nor condones the use of electronic plagiarism detections methods. Discussion in the Academic Board Learning and Teaching Sub-Committee noted that plagiarism software worked by building a database of content and that this database may not comply with the University’s Intellectual Property Rule and student ownership of their I.P. On this basis, University practice emphasises education over detection and the provision of an opt-out option, when and if electronic plagiarism detection is used.
